Experience the best of
Seoul with Withlocals

"My tour with Chris was excellent, his knowledge of Korean and world history was extremely impressive and made for a great few hours exploring downtown Seoul. I would highly recommend a tour with him for anyone who wants to learn more about the history and culture of this great place. Knew an excellent spot for traditional Korean tea as well. "

"We went on a DMZ tour with Ho Jin in hopes of getting to experience a bit of Korea's history close up. Ho Jin was great! We learned a lot, and more importantly, Ho Jin helped bring the history to life for us - giving us a deeper understanding of the lasting impacts the conflict. "

"Juli was an excellent host for our tour. Great conversation, teaching and educating us on Korean history, culture, along with food experiences. Would recommend highly"

"First and most important, Kevin was an excellent guide, very understandable who all through our tour told us about ancient history, stories of old, traditions that still exit today and a picture of modern Korean life & culture. We had had a big travel snag that curtailed our stay in Seoul to just one day. Kevin was incredibly gracious and patiently waited for us and then fast-tracked without rushing. Our tour captured central city viewpoints, a famous palace (where many locals as well as visitors dress in traditional Hanok costumes for fun), ancient sites with original housing and statuary, and the famous Bukchon-Hanok Village. He knew all the bathroom stops, good places for coffee, and a truly wonderful arts and crafts area where shopkeepers make their goods to sell in small shops. High quality and lots of local color. We finished our trip with a stop at a traditional Korean restaurant where we tried shrimp pancakes, pickled radish, kimchi and a really delicious bibimbap with super crispy rice at the bottom of a hot pot. All in all, Kevin was easy going, mindful to keep us on track without disrupting our picture-taking and moments of contact with others. We wished we could have had a second day with him!"

"Juli’s food tour was the perfect introduction to Seoul. We arrived hungry and she immediately took care of us. After fortifying us with kimchi dumplings we tried a number of other delicious Korean dishes throughout the market before walking to another market. She also gave us a great orientation to the city and the country. Highly recommend!! "

"Our guide was knowledgable, helpful and friendly. He gave us a wonderful introduction to the City. We could not have been more pleased"

"We had a great time with Jason, we were shown how to use the trains and load cards, then went on a fun trip to explore."

"Having traveled the world and exposed to many guides, Ho Jin is by far the best we’ve ever had. His knowledge of Seoul & South Korea both today & historically helped us have a better perspective. His excellent commend of the English language was important for our understanding. We did two tours -DMZ & tour of Seoul. He took us to some site that I would have never thought about but they made our understanding of Seoul much better. If anyone wants the best tour & guide, you have to select Ho Jin"

"Rossi gave a wonderful tour of the fish market, i had a really good time with him and it was all so yummy, would def recommend him to others "

"He showed us some really nice streets we wouldnt have found without him. Very easy to talk to and service oriented. We really liked our tour. "
